Thousands of butterflies will soon take flight at Krohn Conservatory for its annual Butterfly Show.

"Pura Vida: Butterflies of Costa Rica" opens April 12 and runs through June 22.

This year, the show will expand into all rooms of the conservatory. While the butterflies will be in the main showroom as usual, surrounded by waterfalls, stone sculptures and more, the Costa Rican theme will carry through to the other exhibit rooms, with a "cloud forest," an oxen cart, –painted in the traditional Costa Rican village style – live birds, fish and reptiles.

Among the 16,000 butterflies on display will be the Blue Morpho, White Morpho, longwing and the owl butterfly.

Throughout the show, special events ranging from photographer nights to family nights to a "Crafts and Crafts" night – with craft beer and craft vendors – will be offered.

Hours will be 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. (Special event hours vary.)

Admission is $7; $4 for children; ages four and under are free. Unlimited admission pins are available for $12.
